There were two intensive training sessions on Tuesday with manager Marko Nikolic giving the players Wednesday morning off to relax. They remained in the hotel and had lunch and took the chance to relax. Some players headed to the gym for some work. The coaching staff then held an afternoon session that lasted for almost 2 hours. The players that had been on international duty arrived at the training camp just before the afternoon session with the exception of Paulo Vinicius. He will link up with MOL Vidi FC on Thursday. 

North Macedonia international player Boban Nikolov revealed that he had spent the last few days at home and tried to relax and recharge. He had been away with his country in two qualifiers against Poland and Austria. Nikolov found the 4-1 loss to Austria extremely painful and they sit in 5th place with 4 points in the group of 6. 

There will be two sessions each on Thursday and Friday as part of the program. The first pre-season friendly will be played on Saturday afternoon against Russian side FK Akhmat Grozny.
